To ride dressage is to dance with your horse, equal partners in the delicate and sometimes difficult work of creating harmony and beauty.

Speaking of that time of year...

See that? Larry is shedding. When he came in February, Larry was shedding his winter coat, and now he's shedding his summer coat. You can't fool animals; they know when the day length is getting shorter.

Larry's owner is coming down for lessons on him each week, and I school him in between. He's doing great; I'd love to get some current photos of him but the arena is too dusty to turn my camera on. There's a chance of thunderstorms in the forecast; I'm hoping for a good shower to settle the dust before Tina comes tomorrow.

Yep, it is shed time and I've seen a few marcel waves starting on necks and chests. The curls are coming, the curls are coming! We didn't get any more rain, but hoping it makes it to you for some dust settling.

Yep, everyone's shedding here too.

Yep, our horses are shedding also. And our Great Pyrenees is starting to grow in her winter coat too. She is soooo miserable right now with these 100 degree days!
